UW's Chris Petersen: 'Heck yes' Seahawks should draft Kevin King

Just a few miles northwest of the VMAC is Montlake, home of the Washington Huskies. The Seattle Seahawks, under Pete Carroll and John Schneider, have been keen on the talent coming out of the University of Washington.

“Let me tell ya, we have three first-rounders, we really do. So we got Budda [Baker] I say this guy’s like the most unbelievable football player, he can do it all. Got Sidney Jones, who’s the most technically-sound, most coachable guy. If you tell him how to do something, he’s gonna get it and he’s gonna do it to a T. That showed up the last couple years. And then you’ve got Kevin King, who might have the biggest upside out of all of them because he’s 6-3 and he can run and all the numbers can back it up.”

Petersen gave his thoughts on whether the Seahawks should select Kevin King with their 26th pick in the first round of this year’s draft.

“Heck yes!” Petersen exclaimed. “What are we missing here? Is this a trick question? We had him as a safety but he can run like a corner that’s 6-3, so I think heck yeah they should draft him.”

The Seahawks are in need of cornerback depth with DeShawn Shead not probable to start the season, and of the three Husky defensive backs, King would seem the likeliest to suit up for the Seahawks next season.
